The Thomas and Joanne Peterson Scholarship

The Thomas and Joanne Peterson Endowed Scholarship for Dominican Scholars at Oxford was lauched in 2015 at Dominican University of California. Its purpose is to open the Oxford programme to academically outstanding motivated Dominican students, regardless of their financial situations. Mr Peterson recently said "At St Catherine's College, the Dominican students will engage with academic work in a way that is both intellectually challenging and hugely rewarding. Their experiences at Oxford will be life changing."

Congratulations to Brad Johnson and Danield Stockman who joined the college this Michaelmas term 2016.

Selina Siak, an Atlas Research Fellow at St Catherine’s in 1989, has published her first novel The Woman who Breathed Two Worlds (AmazonCrossing, 2016). The book tells the story of Chye Hoon, a rebellious young girl who must learn to embrace her mixed Malayan-Chinese identity as a Nyonya—and her destiny as a cook, rather than following her first dream of attending school like her brother. It has already received positive reviews, rating 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon's US website. It has also been included in Goodreads best book of the month list for November 2016.
